RAILROAD TALK.
Napoleon May Have Two New Roads

We clip the following from the Findlay
Courier regarding the extension of the G. H.
d d. r. R. from McComb to Findlay. This
is the road that will probably be built north
to Napoleon:
Ira Conine was down to Cincinnati few
days ago and had conference with the Vice.
President of the g. H. & d. Ry. Company
In reference to the extension of the McComb
d Deshler Branch Railroad to Findlay and
he was told that it was the intention of the
Company to build the road to this point the
coming summer. A party of gentlemen from
this city will go to Cincinnati this week and
have further conference in the matter and
| arrange some details.
And this from the Bowling Green Demo
crat, concerning railroad from Butler,
Ind, to Fremont, Ohio, which takes in Napo-
leon:
The Northwestern Ohio Airline Railroad
Company, with capital stock of $500, 900, is
preparing to incorporate. The new line will
extend from Butler, Indiana, to Fremont,
Ohio, passing Bowling Green, Napoleon,
Bryan, ETC., a distance of ninety miles. S. L.
Boughton, A. j. Manvill, James MACPHERSON
and r. S. Parker, of Bowling Green, and q
number of persons from Fremont, Napoleon
and other points along the proposed line,
are interested. 1t is claimed that this line
will shorten the distance between New York
and Chicago just % miles, and will open up
some of the finest agricultural country in
Ohio. The new road will cross the G. H. V.
u T., I. d o. G., T., G. & s., G. H. & D., Wa
bash, and the T., st. l.. d X. c., and will con-
meet at Fremont with the Lake Shore, Wheel
ing d Lake Erie, and Lake Erie q Western.
Their connections at Butler will be the Lake
Shore and Wabash. In order to get for the
proposed line the benefit of through traffic a
avery close alliance with, or absolute sale to
the Lake Shore would be necessary. If such
line would profit anybody it would profit
the Lake Shore. If the Lake Shore could af-
ford to either lease or buy at a price that
would profit the builders, they can afford to
build; yet parties have surveyed this same
route twice, and for some unknown reason
abandoned the project both times. Let us
hope that this time the road will be built. II
would be of inestimable benefit to Bowling
Green, and in conjunction with natural gas,
give us lasting and substantial boom. The
citizens of Wood county will do anything in
reason to further the scheme.

A County History.

Messrs. D. Mason & Co., well-known and
responsible publishing house of Syracuse,
N. Y, are collecting data and making
arrangements for the publishing of history
of Henry and Fulton counties. The work
will contain when completed from 700 to ],
600 pages, 7x10 inches, and will be printed
and bound in the best of style. Neither
pains nor expense will be spared in the CON-
pilation. 1t will in fact be history such as
has never been attempted here and the
gentlemen who have undertaken the work
are deserving of liberal patronage for the
thorough manner in which they propose to
do the work. Subscriptions are being taken
in advance by Mr.. Thatcher, a gentleman
who is thoroughly competent to set forth the
true value of such history.

New School Cards.

An entire new stock, new styles and new
designs of school cards has just been re-
ceived at Saur's Drug and Book House
Teachers will do well to remember that Saur
always carries large stock and great assort-
ment at prices just as low and often some
patterns lower than they can be purchased
anywhere else. small card does not cost
very much and the friendship and kind re-
membranes when given in the proper spirit,
which it establishes is often invaluable and
marks the page of the child's history so in
delibly that time does not and cannot erase
it and will often be referred to in after years
with the greatest of pleasure. School cards
this year are much cheaper and very much
more beautiful than ever before.

INDECENT Soldiers.

The legislature last spring passed bill
authorizing County Commissioners to make
levy not exceeding ITO of a mill, upon all
the taxable property in their county, "for
the purpose of creating fund for the relief
of INDECENT Union soldiers, sailors and wild
ows, and the INDECENT wives, widows and
minor children of INDECENT or diseased Union
soldiers, sailors and mariners" The bill
also provides for the appointment by the
Common Pleas Judge of three persons to be
known as a Soldiers Relief Commission,
whose duty it is to distribute the funds among
the needy.
Judge Handy appointed N. s. Cole, Lewis
Bockelman and G. E. Reynolds as such COM
mittee. The committee meets the first Sat
urday in every month at 2p. M, at the Coun-
ty Commissioners Office in the Court House.
The levy will probably raise about $3.50 a
year in this county, which will be at the dis
posal of the committee in the way of reliev-
ing INDECENT soldiers or their families. The
committee are now assisting the following
persons:

A Rich Treat at Rink Opera House
Next Wednesday Night.

1t is with pleasure that we announce to the
readers of the NORTHWEST the appearance Of
the Celebrated Boston Star Co. at Rink Opere

The Co. is made up of celebrated artists ant

what the press say of the artists who will ap.
pear upon this occasion:

ed.-London Press.
The success of Walter Emerson. the cornet
soloist, has been marvellous. The British
press accord him very high rank as a cornet-
ist. Mr.. Higham, the celebrated manufac.
turer of cornets, so highly appreciated his
playing, that he presented him with superb
masters at the Trocadero Palace united in
praising Emerson's playing in superlative
terms; and the French and German press but
echo this opinion.-BOstOn Advertiser.
Miss Nellie F. Brown, the talented elocu-
zionist, was welcomed by large audience al
the Academy of Music, last night, in the Stal
Course She read with much effect num-
Der of selections from various authors, includ'
ing very clever bit from John Habberton's
once-so-popular "Helen's Babies" In this
she initiated with rare fidelity the baby prat-
tie, and thereby at once won the heart Of
every mother in the house. The readings
however, unfortunately, formed only small
part of the Observation-Disclosures But-
letin.
Mr.. John Thomas, the humorist, made the
hit of the evening. Although down for two
selections, he was recalled again and again,
and fairly convulsed the audience with
laughter The effect of his delivery is height
ened immensely by wonderful contraction
of his facial muscles. To see him cry is
enough to make one roar. with laughter, to
say nothing of his more cheerful expressions
of coantenance.-Ch -Charlesto,V,e Ne,cs.
